Looking for Wisconsin County Map

New user here.  I am trying to make a shape map with Wisconsin counties.  This will show number of arrests by type by county. Is there a way to do this in Power BI or do I need to add a .json file?  I found a geojson file here https://seancase.carto.com/tables/wi_counties_geojson/public, but I need to import a json.  Does anyone know either how to convert that file or if there is a website somewhere with state/county jsons?  I found one but it was a few years old and seems to have been moved.

 

Has anyone ever made a map of their state sorted by county? This is more difficult than I thought it would be. 

 

Please help haha thank you 🙂

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You can use custom maps with Shape Map as long as they are in the TopoJSON format. If your map is in another format, you can use online tools such as Map Shaper to convert your shapefiles or your GeoJSON maps into the TopoJSON format.

     

    There's a similar post you can refer to:
